Pineapple is a tropical fruit that belongs to the group of fruits known as “Bromeliad”.

It is formed by a grid of different individual berries marched together and every individual scale is the end and the beginning of another berry. You probably did not know that besides berries you can use the whole fruit together with its peel.

So, today we will reveal how to do this. But first, let me tell you more about this delicious and sweet fruit and the many health benefits that it can provide.

Pineapple is a great source of manganese, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and an enzyme known as bromelain. The manganese is responsible for the defense of antioxidants while the vitamin B and Thiamine which are also found in this fruit have the ability to produce energy.

This fruit is low in sodium and cholesterol, and has almost no fat, so this is the main reason why you should immediately include in your daily diet. 1 cup of pineapple pieces contains only 82 calories.
